A Day in the Life of a Landscape Designer

So, for the past week to week-and-a-half I have noticed that every time I am in our nursery or I walk by a window that faces the nursery I take time to look for our 1 remaining Gingko tree in the yard.  Weird. Ginkgo’s are nice…they have fan-shaped leaves that are pretty cool…but other than that it’s a tree that I tend to just pass by. Until now!  It is my new favorite fall tree. The leaves are bright yellow and stand out amongst all of the reds, burgundies and oranges of the season. Another cool fact….the leaves tend to fall all at one time. Not fun if the tree is in your yard but a lot of fun if you pass by a few that are planted all together. The leaves form a thick yellow carpet on the street that makes you want to stop and do ‘leaf angels’.  Anyway, just a fun fact…my favorite fall tree…if anybody cares :)

P.S. The best spot that I have found to take a gander at a few of these autumn beauties is on the corner of 4th St. & Bentz St. in Frederick. They are still pretty green but keep your eye out…they should be changing (and falling!!!!) soon.
